Who will win the presidential election? The Trump trade offers a clue - Fortune To be sure, many presidential polls in the last few cycles were well off the mark (and often underestimated Trump’s support). As a result, some election watchers have turned to betting markets for a more accurate reading, arguing that those who put money on the line have a greater incentive to make an accurate call.
The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of top global currencies, has rallied 2% so far this month. The 10-year Treasury yield has surged about 40 basis points. That’s as Trump’s tariffs and tax cuts are expected to boost the dollar and deepen U.S. debt, putting upward pressure on bond yields.

WorkJustin Trudeau has a big political problem: Justin Trudeau - WSJ Almost a decade later, Trudeau is fighting for political survival. About two-thirds of the public disapproves of his performance. His Liberal Party is losing once-safe seats, and some members of his caucus say Trudeau needs to go. And the Trudeau brand is now stubbornly unpopular as Canadians say they are simply tired of him.

WorkThe Killing of Yahya Sinwar - The New Yorker On Thursday afternoon, Yuval Bitton was sitting down to eat at his sister?s place in southern Israel. The occasion was Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, but the anniversary of October 7th and the ongoing horror of the war in Gaza and beyond insured that there was little sense of celebration at the table.

WorkWork WorkWorkBeyond gene-edited babies: the possible paths for tinkering with human evolution - MIT Technology Review In 2016, I attended a large meeting of journalists in Washington, DC. The keynote speaker was Jennifer Doudna, who just a few years before had co-invented CRISPR, a revolutionary method of changing genes that was sweeping across biology labs because it was so easy to use. With its discovery, Doudna explained, humanity had achieved the ability to change its own fundamental molecular nature. And that capability came with both possibility and danger. One of her biggest fears, she said, was ?waking up one morning and reading about the first CRISPR baby??a child with deliberately altered genes baked in from the start. WorkUS judges have a social media problemOn October 7, Pennsylvania's Court of Judicial Discipline ruled that the case of Judge Mark Cohen was the worst case of defiance they had ever seen after he refused to stop posting political comments. WorkWhy Vinegar Is So Good for YouYou may have noticed your supermarket offering more types of vinegar lately. Sure, balsamic and apple cider vinegars are veterans of the condiments aisle, but new shelf neighbors, like coconut, champagne, pomegranate, and raspberry are moving in. WorkWorkSpaceX is NASA?s biggest lunar rival - The Economist It was something amazing?an expensive, delicate ship falling out of the sky with such precision that it could be caught in a waiting pair of giant, gentle arms. If you wanted an illustration of the fact that Americans can do things in space beyond the reach of other earthlings the return of the booster stage of SpaceX?s fifth Starship test flight on October 13th could hardly be bettered. WorkSick of AI hype? I have some bad news.The US presidential campaign is in its final weeks and we?re dedicated to helping you understand the stakes. In this election cycle, it?s more important than ever to provide context beyond the headlines. But in-depth reporting is costly, so to continue this vital work, we have an ambitious goal to add 5,000 new members. WorkAt Least 7 Dead After Ferry Dock Collapses on Sapelo Island, GeorgiaThe Gullah Geechee, who live along the coasts of the Carolinas, Georgia and northern Florida, are descendants of enslaved West African people who were brought to the southeastern United States more than two centuries ago.

Builds a Fan Base in Ireland: Watch Parties, Clinics and GuinnessThe N.F.L. has played only one game in Ireland — a preseason contest in 1997. So, for now, the next-best N.F.L. experience De Lappe and Murphy can get is attending a gathering with more than 800 other avid fans twirling Terrible Towels. Their dream is a trip to the United States to see the Steelers play in the Super Bowl. WorkWhat Joko Widodo Achieved as PresidentThousands of protesters gathered outside the Parliament and Constitutional Court in Jakarta, the capital. Mr. Joko was subjected to very personal attacks, as social media users cursed him by using his birth name, Mulyono. (Mr. Joko was a sickly child whose parents renamed him in hopes of better health; calling him Mulyono was tantamount to casting a hex.) WorkJos Rubn Zamora Will Leave Prison After Nearly Two YearsHis trial was plagued with irregularities and was broadly seen as fundamentally unfair — another move to undermine democracy and target critical press coverage during the administration of former President Alejandro Giammattei. WorkWorkWorkFour of Trump's Most Meandering Remarks This WeekOn Tuesday, John Micklethwait, the editor in chief of Bloomberg News, asked Mr. Trump about the dollar and whether his policies would drive up inflation. Mr. Trump produced a verbal novel, the first chapter of which touched more on Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s undergraduate studies than on macroeconomics. WorkAt Homecoming, Howard Alumni Are Excited and Anxious for Harris“I am itching with excitement deep inside for our fellow Bison, who is atop the ticket for the most powerful position in the most amazing country in the world,” Christina Weaver Jackson, the host of a “Bison for Kamala” fund-raiser at her home in the District of Columbia, told its attendees on Thursday. “I’m also very nervous.” WorkWorkDoor-Knocks, Texts, and Ads, Ads, Ads: Life on the Swing-State BattlefieldThat is true in all seven of the swing states that will decide the winner of the Electoral College — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona — but particularly in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, where critical Senate and House contests are also being fought.It seems as if there is a sign on every corner in Clark County, Nev., with the name of a candidate for something, from the White House to a local school board, from Congress to City Council. WorkJill Stein Won't Stop. No Matter Who Asks.Ms. Stein is back on the ballot almost everywhere that matters, returning to the campaign fore in an ostensible coin-flip race between Mr. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Democrats see Ms. Stein’s bid as a direct threat in a year when even relatively small voter pools might carry near-existential stakes. WorkWorkEarly In-Person Voting Begins in Nevada, as Obama Fires up DemocratsAnother voter, James Still, also marveled at the convenience. His wife, Jennifer, wore a shirt supporting Ms. Harris, and Mr. Still said they had both voted for her because “politicians shouldn’t tell women what to do with their bodies.” For them, as for Mr. Chavez, voting was an added benefit of coming to the store. WorkHS2: Ministers to oversee build as costs 'spiral'In January, the boss of HS2 Ltd estimated that the total cost of HS2 could rise, saying a hike in the cost of materials such as concrete and steel have added £8bn to £10bn to the project's budget.

WorkWorkWorkZumba Teacher? 'Anti-Woke' Cleric? 38 Candidates Line Up to Head Oxford UniversityFor the first time, voters will cast ballots online.

That compares with roughly 8,000 people who voted in the election won by Mr. Patten in 2003. The field of candidates will be culled to five in a first round of voting, with a winner selected in a second round in late November. WorkOpinion | I Don't Want to Live in a Monoculture, and Neither Do YouThe second is that those ineffective policies were promulgated and enforced in part through a campus culture that was remarkably intolerant. Confessore’s report is replete with examples of professors who faced frivolous complaints of race or gender bias, and after Hamas’s terrorist attack on Oct. 7 — when the university’s commitments to pluralism were put to their toughest test — Michigan couldn’t meet even its most basic legal obligations. WorkWorkOpinion | There Is No Leadership Without RiskIncreasingly, I worry that well-intentioned boards of directors are selecting rising leaders for safety, appointing executives who have assiduously avoided controversy rather than those most adept at managing it. Then, they counsel toward caution, not conscience. WorkWorkTugged Between East and West, Moldova Makes a Pivotal ChoiceIn response to the war in Ukraine, the European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, recommended in June 2022 that Moldova and Ukraine be granted “candidate status,” the first formal step in a process that normally lasts longer than a decade.
